Wafu is a clear dressing served over green salads in Japanese restaurants. Unlike goma dare, a creamy sesame dressing, it is not opaque or creamy. Grated onion binds the dressing: its juice and fiber briefly hold the oil and vinegar together. Serve it with lettuce, tomatoes, and grated daikon.

Step by Step
How to make it?
1
Grate the Onion
3 min
Finely grate the onion into a bowl using the small holes of a grater, keeping all its juice. Do not discard the liquid; it is what binds the dressing. If the onion’s sharpness is too strong, put the grated onion in a strainer and rinse it under cold running water for 1 second, but do not wash away all its juice.
2
Whisk the Liquids
3 min
In a jar, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Whisk in both oils in a thin stream. The mixture should turn cloudy and look unified for a couple of seconds.
3
Add the Onion and Taste
2 min
Add the grated onion with its juice and stir; the dressing will thicken slightly and turn from clear to cloudy. Stir in the toasted sesame seeds last. Shake the jar 1 more time just before pouring the dressing over the salad.
Reminder
The oil and vinegar will separate as the dressing sits; this is normal. Shake it in a jar just before serving.

Soğanı rendeleyip suyuyla birlikte katmak sosun bağlanmasını sağlıyor, doğranmış soğanla yağ ve sirke ayrı duruyor. Susam yağını da az koyun, çok koyunca diğer tatları örtüyor.
